The Schedules of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards include all federal and state awards of Oconto County.

The Schedules of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards do not include recorded revenues of $487,521 received by Oconto County for Title 19 Medical Assistance programs. The payments are considered a contract for services between the State and Oconto County and therefore are not reported as federal or state awards.
